SAI ANUGRAHA.


SAI ANUGRAHA was started on 1st January 2008 by MRK Kishore & M Aravind Kiran with the blessings of SAI to spread his fragrance of LOVE & SERVICE across the globe. Initially a group of 30 people, now in hundreds and still growing.

CORE PROGRAM:

SRISAISATCHARITA & SHRISAILEELAMRUTAM parayan :

BABA’s words on SaiSatcharitra to Hemadpanth

"I fully agree with you regarding the writing of Sat Charita. You do your duty, don’t be afraid in the least, steady your mind and have faith in My words. If my Leelas are written, the Avidya will vanish and if they are attentively, and devoutly listened to, the consciousness of the worldly existence will abate, and strong waves of devotion, and love will rise up and if one dives deep into My Leelas, he would get precious jewels of knowledge."

 SHRIGURUCHARITRA parayan

Baba’s words on Guru Charitra parayan

“If the work be studied carefully, the devotee will become pure and will be benefited, the Lord will be pleased and will rescue him from the bondage of the mundane existence.

If My stories are listened to, all the diseases will be got rid of. So, hear My stories with respect; and think and meditate on them, assimilate them. This is the way of happiness and contentment. The pride and egoism of My devotees will vanish, the mind of the hearers will be set at rest; and if it has wholehearted and complete faith, it will be one with Supreme Consciousness. The simple remembrance of My name as ‘Sai, Sai’ will do away with sins of speech and hearing."

Singing SAI AARTI daily

Baba gave much importance to Aaratis. It was during Aarati time only BABA used to sit without moving an inch from his place. The photo of Sai in Dwarakamyee was done during the Aarati time only.

"My special characteristic to free any person, who surrenders completely to Me, and who does worship Me faithfully, and who remembers Me, and meditates on Me constantly. How can they be conscious of worldly objects and sensations, who utter My name, who worship Me, who think of My stories and My life and who thus always remember Me? I shall draw out My devotees from the jaws of Death."

SAI BHAJANs on weekends

BABA encouraged singing bhajans in Dwarakamayee. He also encouraged singing Khawwalis as well.

"If a man utters My name with love, I shall fulfill all his wishes, increase his devotion. And if he sings earnestly My life and My deeds, him I shall beset in front and back and on all sides. Those devotees, who are attached to Me, heart and soul, will naturally feel happiness, when they hear these stories. Believe Me that if anybody sings My Leelas, I will give him infinite joy and everlasting contentment."

Bhajan is "Singing aloud the glory of GOD". It is the process of singing, that originates in the heart, not from the lips or tongue. It is the expression of the joyous thrill that wells up from the heart when the glory of GOD is remembered. It is the spontaneous manifestation of inner ecstasy.

Donations :

General information about Donations accepted by Sai Anugraha & Utilization of Donations.

Shri Sai himself explained the importance of Charity in the 14th chapter of Shri Sai Satcharitra. The meaning of explanation stated in the chapter is that, “Charity accepted by Shri Saibaba means devotees mind purity and ruin their sin ’’.

In the sentence in Vedas “Yagnen Danen Tapasa “the significance of Charity based on religious efforts is explained to the curious Sadhak. Baba asked for Charity to relieve the common devotee from the pit of temptation and to safeguard the interest of him. Various donations are explained in the Upanishad.

Baba told His devotees “Whatever to be given should be given faithfully. Faithless donation is fruitless. Others would keep contact so far you have money. So save the money sufficient for wants, but don’t be tempted.” This preaching about common behavior is for the well being of Sai devotees. It is the advice that, “Show the pity, Give the Charity, control yourself & you will be happy.” In this way Baba advised common people through Charity. It is explained in Saileela, that “Yagna” is not possible without money. So the Donor gets major share in the religious fruit of “Yagna”.

Devotees gave donation to Baba and Baba used it to purchase oil for lamps and tobacco for His Chillim. Tempted devotee’s mind began to be purified by giving donations. Tradition is continued till today. Today, by Saibaba blessings SAI ANUGRAHA is getting monthly & yearly donations from the Sai Anugraha family members & devotees.

The amount of donation is used for different spiritual & social service activities. These donations are accepted in the form of cash, Net Banking Services. Donations collected for SOCIAL SERVICE ACTIVITIES will not be utilized for RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES and vice verse.
